Hiatus
October 02, 2008
Looks like I've been on a bit of a hiatus from my blog. Not totally intentional. Days are as long as always, the full 24 hours like everyone else gets, but somehow, those hours have not been enough to go around for about a week, at least. I intended to get so much done on Monday and felt like I was spinning my tires all day long, really accomplishing very little.
That has been my whole week's lament. I was telling this to Daniel on the way home, and I started to really think about what's been accomplished this week. The ever-present laundry was completed except for folding one load of towels on Monday. On Tuesday, I bought most of my Autumn/Winter wardrobe, except shoes. Not a small task, and I was so thrilled by my success at finding so many great pieces.
Yesterday, I got the frij cleaned out, which has been on my to-do list for, I'm not kidding, weeks, now. So glad to finally be able to cross that off my list...at least for now. I got other things done, here, too mundane to list.
And today, there was grocery shopping. Getting food in the house? Very important.
I've also been participating in a project Ali Edwards is doing with her blog readers, A Week in the Life. It involves documenting through words and photos the daily life and experiences of one entire week. Really liking the process, and today I bought some of the supplies for the album.
Thankful

Today, my sweet mother had surgery. Nothing serious, but naturally I was concerned as any surgery can have complications. I'm very relieved and totally thankful that she is alright. Sometimes...this is a very, very big country. Copyright 2008 Melissa LaFavers...
Leaves By Request
September 23, 2008
A good friend of mine made a request that I take and post pictures of autumn leaves. See, she lives in a place of eternal Summer and rarely gets to see the amazing, breathtaking colors of Autumn.
Yesterday was the official first day of Autumn, and while we still have fairly warm ...
Weekend Adventure
September 22, 2008
Saturday was one of those days when I needed to get out, get away. Daniel and I got in the car to go where the day took us, and after a stop at a friend's yard sale, where we found a couple of great treasures, we were off to the eastern coast of Michigan. Partly guided by a book I recently bought called Traveling Michigan's Thumb, we took interstate highways to M29 and followed it north...
